Practical ways you can use GitHub and Slack
Track new GitHub collaborators in Slack.
When a new collaborator is added to your GitHub repository, Zapier sends an update in Slack. This helps business owners stay on top of team changes and maintain visibility into their projects.
Business Owner
Notify Slack when a GitHub issue is created.
When a new issue is created in GitHub, Zapier sends a notification to a specific Slack channel. This ensures the team is immediately aware of new issues, speeding up response times and improving team coordination.
Engineering
Post updates in Slack for GitHub repo events.
When any event occurs in a GitHub repository, Zapier posts an update to Slack. This keeps IT teams informed about changes, ensuring they're immediately accessible in case support or fixes are required.
